Tottenham snatch point at Manchester City in classic after Liverpool drama
LONDON: Dejan Kulusevski headed a dramatic late goal as Tottenham held Manchester City in a six-goal thriller on Sunday after Liverpool staged a sensational comeback on a breathless afternoon in the Premier League. High-flying Aston Villa scored in the 90th minute to draw 2-2 at Bournemouth while 10-man Chelsea shrugged off a red card for captain Conor Gallagher to edge Brighton 3-2 on a day when 24 goals were scored in five matches. Champions City looked set to move to within one point of leaders Arsenal when they led Spurs 3-2 in the dying minutes at the Etihad. But Kulusevski headed home from Brennan Johnson’s cross in the 90th minute to leave City ruing dropped points for the third match running. Son Heung-min put the away side ahead in the sixth minute but three minutes later the South Korean forward turned villain, putting the ball into his own net. Phil Foden put City in front just after the half hour following a sweeping move but Giovani Lo Celso levelled about 20 minutes from time. Jack Grealish restored the home side’s lead once more, only for Kulusevski to stun the Etihad late on. “Of course that’s why we love football,” Tottenham captain Son told Sky Sports. “That’s what I told the lads. “Obviously Man City are a huge, huge team and one of the best teams in the world but that’s why we love football, it happens sometimes.
